This pathetic sight of electrical poles in the middle of a sidewalk on Jarry east of St. Michel might soon finally change, as road repairs, (left) suggest that the strip will finally see its poles buried.
Some suggest that the burying of poles can raise home values by about five percent and it's considered safer as well as being more pleasant and possibly help that vacant lot (pictured below) finally find a buyer.
The new poles can be seen here on the left. Note, however, that it could still be months, if not years before the unsightly wooden poles, which adorn both sides of the street disappear. A similar event in Ste. Anne de Bellevue was taken last year and now both the new poles and the old poles are up with no idea of when the old ones will be taken away.
